Pochettino expects 'toughest season' yet at Tottenham

A lack of new signings and a delay in moving into their new stadium on White Hart Lane leaves the Argentine expecting a difficult campaign

Mauricio Pochettino is anticipating his 'toughest season' in charge of Tottenham yet after they failed to make any new signings before the transfer deadline passed.

Spurs finished in the Premier League's top three for the third successive campaign last term but were unable to end their long wait for silverware, which dates back to a League Cup triumph a decade ago.

While the division's other big clubs all made acquisitions in a bid to strength their squad ahead of the new season, there were no incomings at Tottenham.
